To help local residents with open enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace, Toledo/Lucas County CareNet now has certified application counselors. To schedule an appointment for free assistance, please call CareNet at 419-842-0800 or contact Danielle at dani@nwocarenet.org.
Open enrollment continues through Friday, December 15, and 2018 coverage will begin Monday, January 1. Those who are uninsured or have a marketplace plan will need to enroll/re-enroll during open enrollment.
Residents also can call 1-800-318-2596 or visit this federal website for assistance and more information.
Outside of open enrollment, residents need a “qualifying event” – such as moving to another state, getting married or divorced, and losing employer-sponsored coverage – to get coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
